Location
It will cost a lot to have a wedding in a hotel or ecstatic location. Take a look around and book a banquet hall. If you book in advance, you will get a beautiful banquet hall according to the budget. If you book in a hurry as soon as the wedding comes, the rent will also increase.
Wedding Cards
Invitation cards are used only to invite guests. Then in most homes that card gets stuck in the rubbish of old papers. So there is no point in wasting money on the back of the card.
